Ava and Britton, let's get ready to get this done!


We got to go to DISNEY WORLD for our 2011 Family Vacation! AND IT WAS A BLAST! We drove 10 hours to get there and started off with Taylor throwing up everywhere in the backseat within 15 min of the drive... oh how fun it is to start things off that way! No worries, Britton threw up on the way back about an hour into the drive so we got to have the smell of throw up all the way there and all the way back!
Walking around at 31 weeks prego wore me out FOR SURE (we went January 18th - 22nd) and by the fourth day I just couldn't handle it anymore... so we ended up doing three whole days of Disney and on the fourth, we rested! We went to the Magic Kingdom the first day and I am so glad we did that first. We were full of energy and the kids were ready to rock and roll. We stayed 8 hours and went on all but three rides for the whole park. When I say we made the most of that day, WE DID! We saw parades, characters, ate like crazy, and rode, rode, rode the rides. Well Daniel, Benson, Britton, Taylor and Ava rode the rides... little man and I mostly walked and talked. I did get to go on a couple of rides though (and so did Edward) like: The Haunted Manshon and Pirates of the Caribbean! I think all the kids agreed that Pirates of the Caribbean was their FAVORITE... so we ended up going on it at least three times. They also loved It's a Small World and Benson and Britton thought that Haunted Mansion was BRILLIANT!
The second day we did Hollywood Studios and talk about AWESOME! The Indiana Jones show was GRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTTTTT!!!! All the kids, including Little Man, just thought it was the coolest thing ever! And I have to agree, if you go you HAVE to check it out. It felt so real right in front of us, I don't think the kids will ever forget that and I am pretty sure it was the highlight of the whole trip.
It rained on us most of the third day while we were at the Epcot Center, but now worries... we still had the times of our lives! We went and watched Captain Eo, I fell asleep during it and Daniel was astonished I could even blink during such an AWESOME Micheal Jackson movie (give me a break), but the kids loved it and I think the movie made them all fans of Michael Jackson because I have heard them singing the songs ever since. We also saw A TON of characters that day and got TONS AND TONS of autographs. We got to create our own video game and email it to our account so the kids can play it at home, super fun!
Wow the list just goes on and on of all the fun, but hopefully the pictures speak for themselves. I am so glad we all could go together, it will be a long time before we have Taylor and Ava with us again so it was SO nice to have this special family memory! I hope all the kids treasure the memories!

How fun. YOur kids look like they had an amazing time. I've been to Disney while I was pregnant, but I only had to chase around one kid at the time. You are super woman!
You just have to give me your email where you left your last comment. It won't be published. I remembered a long time ago you sent out a message with your new email, but I could never find it when I went back to look for it.
